Read any of Jenny Colgan’s books and you will find yourself sucked into the stunning scenery and loveable characters. The most important subject of this book is getting back from a depression and anxiety and learning how to deal with it, without giving up life.

As someone who has been dealing with depression and anxiety I felt the way Marisa was feeling. The most magical thing of all happened with every page I read of Marisa’s story, I felt my own weight getting lighter and lighter. I myself was starting to feel hopeful as Marisa was feeling more hopeful. The romance in this book was cute, believable and heart warming, but to me the path Marisa followed on the road to healing was the highlight of this book.
